Python – Group concatenate Till K

Given list of strings, perform concatenation in groups till K.

Input : test_list = [“Gfg”, “is”, “Best”, “”, “I”, “Love”, “”, “Gfg”], K = “”
Output : [‘Gfg is Best’, ‘I Love’, ‘Gfg’]
Explanation : Concatenated words with “” as new String separator.

Input : test_list = [“Gfg”, “is”, “Best”, “”, “I”, “Love”], K = “”
Output : [‘Gfg is Best’, ‘I Love’]
Explanation : Concatenated words with “” as new String separator.

Method : Using loop + join() + list comprehension

This is a way in which this task can be performed. In this, we construct parts of strings into lists, and then perform join of individual lists using join() and list comprehension.

Python3

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Group concatenate Till K
# Using loop + join() + list comprehension

# initializing lists
test_list = ["Gfg", "is", "Best", None, "I", "Love", None, "Gfg"]

# printing original list
print("The original list : " + str(test_list))

# initializing K
K = None

# all() to encapsulate whole logic into one expression
res = [[]]
for sub in test_list:

    # checking for K value, and performing append to
    # latest list
    if sub != K:
        res[-1].append(sub)
    else:

        # constructing new list if new group
        res.append([])

# Joining all groups
fin_res = [' '.join(ele) for ele in res]

# printing result
print("Concatenated Groups : " + str(fin_res))

Output

The original list : ['Gfg', 'is', 'Best', None, 'I', 'Love', None, 'Gfg']
Concatenated Groups : ['Gfg is Best', 'I Love', 'Gfg']
